KBTC’s Northwest Now focuses on aerospace industry and Boeing’s new flyer

Up until the mid-1990s, Boeing built most of its largest commercial aircraft projects here in Western Washington.

But over the past two decades, the aerospace giant has looked elsewhere to build its aircraft, including places like South Carolina and Kansas. Now, as the company prepares to announce another large commercial airline project known as the 797, there’s speculation that Boeing may select another venue outside of our state as a place to build this newest aircraft.

On Friday’s edition of Northwest Now, we will discuss efforts to keep Boeing’s next project in Washington. Plus, we’ll visit a local aerospace contractor that relies on Boeing’s presence in Western Washington.
